You will not hear a communication error tone in this mode, but you will hear
a short buzz when you pull the trigger if the radio communication is not
working. Once the radio connection is made, the scanner produces a
series of beeps while the data is being transferred to the base or Access
Point.
Page Button
When you press the Page button on the base or Access Point, the scan-
ners associated with that base or Access Point will begin beeping (3 short
and 1 long beep). If you pull the trigger on a scanner that is beeping in
response, or press the Page button on the base or Access Point a second
time, all associated scanners will stop beeping. See Paging on page 3-10
for further information about Page Button settings.
About the Battery
There is a danger of explosion if the batteries are incorrectly replaced.
Replace the batteries with only the same or equivalent type recom-
mended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to
the recycle program for batteries as directed by the governing agency
for the country where the batteries are to be discarded.
Power is supplied to the cordless scanner by a rechargeable battery that is inte-
grated in the scanner handle. Batteries are shipped approximately 30% to 60%
charged. The battery should be charged for a minimum of 4 hours before initial
use to ensure optimal performance.
Charging Information
The battery is designed to charge while the scanner is positioned in the
cordless base unit. Refer to Base/Access Point LED Sequences and
Meaning, page 3-8, for an interpretation of the Charge Status indicators.
Refer to Charge Only Mode (page 3-13) if you need to charge a scanner
without linking it to the base.
Place the scanner in the base that is connected to an appropriate power
supply. Use only a Listed Limited Power Source (LPS) or Class 2 type
power supply with output rated 5 to 5.2Vdc, 1A.
Note: If you are powering the base through the interface cable (for
example, a USB cable) and not using an external power supply
plugged into the aux port, the current available for charging is
reduced and charge times are increased.
Battery Recommendations
• T h e b a t t e r y i s a l i t h i u m i o n cell and can be used without a full charge, and
can also be charged without fully discharging, without impacting the
battery life. There is no need to perform any charge/discharge
conditioning on this type of battery.
• Keep the base connected to power when the host is not in use.
• Replace a defective battery immediately since it could damage the
scanner.
